A group of 18 to 20 Bangladeshi citizens were apprehended by vigilant locals in the Jalalpur area on Tuesday, May 27, after illegally crossing the Jessore-Benapole border into West Bengal. Authorities are investigating that the individuals obtained fraudulent Aadhaar cards with the assistance of Indian brokers before traveling to Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
The group was intercepted while attempting to return to Bangladesh, again with the suspected help of brokers. Five auto-rickshaws believed to be involved in the operation were seized during the apprehension. Initial statements from those arrested indicate that the owners of the seized vehicles reside in Bhangarpada.
All individuals have been transferred to Gumra police station for further processing. They were subsequently moved to Silchar Sadar police station for overnight interrogation. The Assam Police are currently leading the ongoing investigation into the matter.
